Three Salman Khan fans run away from Delhi to meet superstar; found safe in Nashik after MISSING for 4 days: Deets Inside
has always had an enormous fan base, with admirers of all ages looking up to him. But in a recent incident involving three minor boys from Delhi, who went missing on 25 July, all in hopes of meeting the Bollywood superstar.
As reported by PTI, the three boys, aged 13, 11, and nine, are all students at the same school in the Sadar Bazar area of Delhi. Their sudden disappearance triggered a massive search operation by Delhi Police and their counterparts in Maharashtra.
It all started with a gaming app friend
According to the police, the boys had been chatting with a person named Wahid from Jalna in Maharashtra via an online gaming platform. Wahid had claimed that he had once met
Salman
Khan and could possibly arrange a meeting with the actor.
Believing him, the boys hatched a plan to visit Jalna and then head to Mumbai to meet the superstar. They left their homes on 25 July without informing their families, which led to panic among their parents and a missing persons report being filed.
Left a note behind
During the early stages of investigation, police discovered a handwritten note at one of the boys' homes. The note clearly mentioned their intention to meet Wahid in Jalna. This became the first major lead in the case.
Further investigation through CCTV footage revealed visuals of the boys near Ajmeri Gate, indicating that they might have travelled to New Delhi Railway Station to board a train. Based on train schedules and possible travel routes, police suspected that the boys had taken the Sachkhand Express, from Delhi to Maharashtra.
Phone signal helps trace missing children
When Wahid found out the police were involved and the boys' families were searching for them, he backed out of the meeting.
The boys then dropped their plan to visit Jalna and got off the train in Nashik. Though Wahid couldn't be contacted, brief phone activity helped police trace the boys.
Delhi Police reportedly joined hands with Railway Police and Maharashtra police to search multiple locations. Finally, on Tuesday, four days after they went missing, the boys were found safe at a railway station in Nashik.
Safe return for the young
Salman Khan fans
Thankfully, all three minors were safe and unharmed when found. They were brought under police protection and arrangements were made to send them back to Delhi.

Rubina Dilaik Backs Deepika Padukone On 8-Hour Shift Demand: ‘Everyone Should Get Time To Rest'
Rubina Dilaik supports Deepika Padukone's demand for 8-hour work shifts, saying everyone deserves rest and creative work thrives with respectful hours. Rubina Dilaik is one of television's most loved actresses, known for being vocal about her opinions and points of view. Recently, she spoke up about one of the most discussed topics in the industry right now, the demand for fixed working hours. The debate began when Deepika Padukone exited Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Prabhas' project, Spirit. Rubina backed Deepika and stated that she has been struggling with the issue of long working hours since the beginning of her career. 'This (working hours) has been a struggle even when I was new to the industry, but very rarely are we heard. If we voice our concern about it, then it becomes news… but working hours have to be respectful," she told PTI in an interview. She further added, 'I'm not saying this because I'm an actor. If I become a producer, I shall ensure that my people work within eight hours. I'll create a system wherein we do meaningful and good work within eight hours, and it's a win-win for everyone." Rubina also said that Deepika's demand is very realistic. 'I'm not saying that the producer or the network should lose money. Everyone should get time to rest because their creativity will flourish. Having said that, Deepika Padukone has not made an unrealistic demand." Bollywood's ongoing debate over work hours For the unversed, the debate over work hours in Bollywood gained traction after Deepika Padukone's departure from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming film Spirit. Reports claimed that the actress, who recently embraced motherhood, had requested to limit her workday to eight hours, a clause that reportedly didn't sit well with the filmmaker. Several celebrities, including Vikrant Massey, Rashmika Mandanna, Neha Dhupia, Anurag Basu, and others, came out in support of Deepika amid the ongoing discussion. On the work front, Deepika Padukone is all set to collaborate with Atlee once again after the blockbuster hit Jawan. She is reportedly playing a pivotal role in Shah Rukh Khan's King. Meanwhile, Rubina was recently seen whipping up a variety of dishes along with her impressive comic timing on Laughter Chefs 2. Hosted by Bharti Singh and Chef Harpal Singh, the culinary show is nearing its finale. She is now also seen on Pati Patni Aur Panga with her husband Abhinav Shukla.

SC grants bail to brother of Bhopal-based sadhvi in fraud case
New Delhi, Aug 5 (PTI) The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted bail to the brother of Bhopal-based 'sadhvi", who is accused in a Rs 90 lakh fraud case following the death of the 'mahant" of Ram Janaki Temple in Chhindwara district of Madhya Pradesh. A bench of Justices M M Sundresh and N Kotiswar Singh said bail was an accused's right. The top court was hearing a plea filed by Harsh Raghuvanshi challenging the cancellation of bail granted to him by the Madhya Pradesh High Court. Advocate Ashwani Dubey, appearing for the accused, submitted there were no criminal antecedents of the petitioner and he was implicated as an accused during the investigation. He said the accused was not involved in commission of offence and his name was added as a co-accused at the time of investigation. The counsel for the Madhya Pradesh government opposed the plea. The high court on May 19 cancelled the anticipatory bail granted to Sadhvi Laxmi Das and cancelled the regular bail granted to her brother in the case. Sadhvi Laxmi Das alias Reena Raghuvanshi was granted anticipatory bail on December 20, 2024 on the condition that she would deposit the amount equal to money allegedly siphoned off by her, i.e., Rs 90 lakh in the bank as security money. According to the police, Mahant Kanak Dass Maharaj died in a road accident on April 17, 2023. He had a savings account at State Bank of India which had a deposit of Rs 88,74,081. He had not named anyone as his nominee in the account. It was alleged that Das, who the mahant's disciple, embezzled the amount with the intention to cheat. The police booked her under Sections 420 (cheating), 403 (dishonest misappropriation of property) and 404 (dishonest misappropriation of property) of IPC.
